Undisclosed Desires

As i started reading the comments from the beginning, yours is the best I read so far. As for the sexual note that many seem to find in this song, it might be true, but not without the strong emotional involvement that speaks from the lyrics and melody. Later on I read that apparantly it´s a song about an (ex) girlfriend of matthew, so then your intepretation makes even more sense.

Agree with the above.<br /> <br /> "I know you suffered<br /> But I don't want you to hide<br /> It's cold and loveless<br /> I won't let you be denied"<br /> <br /> She's suffered in the past in relationships, but doesn't want her to shut everyone off. Its saying that I know that where you are right now is cold and loveless, but it doesn't have to be that way and I can change that.<br /> <br /> "Soothe me<br /> I'll make you feel pure<br /> Trust me<br /> You can be sure"<br /> <br /> I'll take away the pain, and you can trust that I won't hurt you.<br /> <br /> "I want to reconcile the violence in your heart<br /> I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask<br /> I want to exorcise the demons from your past<br /> I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart"<br /> <br /> There is violence in her heart, to the point where past pain has driven her to push everyone away through whatever means necessary in order to not be hurt. Even with all of that, she is still an incredible person and has amazing inner beauty. Exorcise the demons: Help her trust and love again and be able to look back without feeling pain. Satisfy the undisclosed desires (can be taken sexually, of course), but I think that this speaks to him understanding that in her heart she craves more but is to scared to allow those desires to love and closeness to be disclosed to anyone.<br /> <br /> "You trick your lovers that you're wicked and divine<br /> You may be a sinner<br /> But your innocence is mine"<br /> <br /> She acts both ways. At times, she'll open herself up a little bit and allow someone in, and they'll see the 'divine' side of her. But, more often she keeps her mask up, and that mask is of a carefree 'wicked' girl. Her actions lead people to believe she is a sinner (by the puritan definition), but he understands that it is all an act she puts up to try and keep people away.<br /> <br /> "Please me<br /> Show me how it's done<br /> Tease me<br /> You are the one"<br /> <br /> Again, this could be taken sexually. But, it can be taken in another way as well. 'Please me, show me how it's done' - Make me happy, open yourself up, show me who you really are.. 'Tease me, you are the one' - She is teasing him by letting her guard down a little bit at a time, and even through those small cracks in her armor he can tell that she is the one.<br /> <br />
